ENGLISH Handling Songs with a USB Storage Device Handling Songs with a USB Storage Device You can handle User songs (save, load, and delete) with a USB storage device. You can also format the device or media. Before using a USB device, read the "Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal" section on page 41. About Save and Load Save You can save three User songs in the instrument to the USB storage device as SMF song files. These songs can be saved to a "container" (or memory location) in the USB storage device. 100 containers are available - S00 - S99. Since the User songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other instruments, including other Clavinovas.

NOTE Before handling songs with a USB storage device, make sure that the device is not protected. If the device is protected, you cannot access it. NOTE If there is not enough capacity left on the USB storage device to save or export the data, an appropriate message will appear on the display and you will not be able to save or export the data. Delete unwanted files from the device to make more memory available (page 39), or use another device. NOTE The file numbers which can be handled in this instrument are 100 files. • SMF song numbers: S00 - S99 SMF Song 99 (S99) Load If you want to only play the song in the USB storage device, the following operation is not necessary. For instructions on playing the song, see "Playing Back User Songs from a USB Storage Device" on page 45. The Load operation can be used if you want to edit the recorded song on the instrument. Data can be loaded to User Song 3 (U03).

TERMINOLOGY SMF (Standard MIDI File): The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the Clavinova are SMF Format 0. 36 CLP-370/340/330, CLP-S308/S306 Owner's Manual
